To shift a funcion (or its graph) down "a" units, you subtract "a" from the function. For example, x squared gives you a certain graph; "x squared minus a" will give you the same graph, but shifted down "a" units. Similarly, you can shift a graph upwards "a" units, by adding "a" to the function.

In the vertex form of a quadratic function y equals a the quantity of x-b squared plus c what does the b tell you about the graph?
The standard form of the quadratic function in (x - b)2 + c, has a vertex of (b, c). Thus, b is the units shifted to the right of the y-axis, and c is the units shifted above the x-axis.
